ah shoot Windows bluescreens on boot, I might've broken the card :/

I got the superglued heatsink off the graphics card

I guess it's not really good for anything that gets very few views

I wonder how viable it would be if people just started distributing their video content over Bittorrent (I guess that's almost what peertube is)

since Youtube is down, you can now pay me postage for me to burn any of my videos to a DVD and mail it to you

CONCLUSION:

Youtube was running the libssh server.

and I'm pretty sure stuff that would dissolve the superglue would dissolve the card too lol

I strongly assume the problem is the thermal paste but the friend I got it from superglued the cooler on, and did a dang good job too

ah it sucks that I can't really try out this quadcore because when i put a load on this GPU for too long it gets too hot and shuts off

meh, apparently my macgyver GPU cooler* doesn't work anymore
*a case fan just laying on the heatsink

and I just learned that the heatsink is superglued on lmao

come on, Sony, DS1 and DS2 sticks have the exact same shape and size, but the part where it plugs into the potentiometer setup is different?

I'm looking for work. I'll likely be able to relocate (within the US) within the next few months, but I am a trans woman and prefer (and have long experience with) remote work.

Selected skills:

* HTML/JS/CSS, incl. multiple frameworks and supersets
* Python and PHP (including WordPress)
* Data analysis with Stata or R
* System administration (including both LAMP and other Linux- or Windows-based stacks)

I've reached the "ramen for every meal" portion of this month's poverty, which, as you can imagine, is not great for my sodium intake.

If you can help out, I'd really appreciate it. paypal.me/joyeusenoelle

fucked up that Twitter only sends those cool notifications to iOS users

i wish polygon still made video content (like jackbox, overboard or fiendzone) but all of these things seem to have been put on ice...

also it creates a bit of a hot area below the card which prolly doesn't help

pretty sure it worked better when I ran it from a wall psu

hrm just laying a case fan on this graphics card's heatsink doesn't seem to cool it enough
